A BROOKLYN MANS CURIOUS CoMPLICArIoN-wAs
The WIFE DRuGGED WHEN SHE MARRIED HIN?
From the Albany Journal
strange story is told by Brooklyn young man
concerning an adventure he had in Saratoga last
summer. out OF this adventure has grown suit for
the annulment OF marriage. While the Brook
Ign young gentleman was sitting on the piazza OF
the Grand Union Hotel at Saratoga last summer q
beautiful young girl passed She had luminous
black eyes, dark wavy tresses, a clear olive COM
plexion and a 1.-the. shapely figure AS she passed
him the young man threw at her a flower and OBJ
served that she stopped and picked 1t up.
The following day he waited patiently on the
piazza ana when she appeared offered her a
bouquet, which she accepted. From this meeting
grew an intimacy which developed into wedding
engagement. The parents OF the young lady, who
were Hebrews, objected TO her marriage with the
young man, who was a Roman Catholic, but the
objection did not seem to be too serious TO be over
come
would be married privately, and for that reason,
accompanied by a servant In the employ OF the
young lady's mother, the couple drove to BaIstOn
Spa in september. and were married by a clergy
:. Ill In that village.
They then returned to Saratoga, and the young
lady went to her mothers nome and the Young
gentleman to the hotel where ne had been board
my They met several times thereafter. The
young lady, 1t is said, requested the clergyman,
any record Of IT., but he declined to agree to this
On the threshold OF the door she took the certii-
cate and tore IL into fragments, as Is asserted.
While the young husband was walking the streets
OF Saratoga week after his marriage q man
stepped up TO him, tapped him on the shoulder
and s i'd:
''What do you mean?"
The bridegroom, startled and amazed, asked for
an explanation. !
"Why," said the stranger "what do you mean
by going OH with my wife and marrying herr"
The Brooklyn man said II was true that he had
been married, but he did not know that he had
married anybody's wife.
"Wen you have" said the stranger, land will
hold you responsible for It,"
The bridegroom went at once to the house OF the
brides parents, confronted the mother and de-
manded to know what the story meant. The
mother replied that 1t was true and upraided him
for abducting the young lady, who was already
tied by the marriage bond.
A suit for the annulment of the marriage was
brought In Brooklyn and the case has been sent to
referee. IL Is said that some interesting testt-
mOny has been drawn out and that sensational
developments are expected before the case closes
The young lady tells her friends that she was
not responsible for what she did; that she was
under the influence OF the young man, and that
when she entered the carriage to drive to BalstOn
he gave her large bouquet, ana she believes that
she inhaled some sleeping powders that he had
placed upon the blossoms and that this bereft her
OF her senses. This remarkable statement is only
one OF the many peculiar phases of the case. When
the facts are made public they will create o SEN
satiOn.
The young bridegroom was engaged in a manu-
featuring business, and at the time OF his mar
Rage was supposed to be well-t0-dO, but has had
business reverses and his friends charge that the
loss OF his property may have had something to DO
with his sudden domestic complications. At all
events the case Is queer one.
